Ralph & Russo, a British couture house that recently held a special event in Beijing, has major expansion plans in Asia. Sun Yuanqing reports.

It is not easy to gain a foothold in the world of haute couture, but Ralph & Russo, a British couture house, has managed to do so in merely a decade. The rising couture house recently held a special event in Beijing in collaboration with fashion boutique Lane Crawford.

The clothes on show were a mixture. Some were from its new collection shown at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week in January, while others were older pieces, showcasing different styles and elements of the brand.

With a loyal clientele in Asia, the couture house knows what its Asian clients want.
